‘Will Henry Baker see it ?’ I asked.
‘I hope so,’ said Holmes. ‘Peterson, you go past the newpaper office, don’t you? Will you give this to them?’
‘Of course,’ said Peterson. ‘But what are you going to do with the diamond?’
‘Ah, yes,’ said Holmes. ‘I shall keep the diamond and return it to Lady Morcar later. Thank you, Peterson.’
Peterson went out.
‘Mr Henry Baker will come for his chocken,’ said Holmes. ‘I’ll buy another one for him.’ Holmes held the diamond against the light . ‘It’s a beautiful stone,’ he said. ‘I’ll put it in a safe place. Then I’ll send a note to Lady Morcar. She will be very pleased.’
